The Jungle Books can be regarded as classic stories told by an adult to children. 

          They are best known for the 'Mowgli’ stories; the tale of a baby abandoned and brought up by wolves, educated in the ways and secrets of the jungle by Kaa the python, Baloo the bear, and Bagheera the black panther. The stories, a mixture of fantasy, myth, and magic, are underpinned by Kipling’s abiding preoccupation with the theme of self-discovery, and the nature of the 'Law’.

          Lovers of the classic film version of “Jungle Book” will learn more about the story of how an innocent child wins the heart of the jungle’s fiercest creatures, escapes from jealous enemies and survives day-to-day perils by the skin of his teeth. But can Mowgli stay for ever with his friends? Kipling’s tale is a fable of all human life and the difficulties of growing up.
